Rione XIII
Part of Ethan Stowell’s stylish group of restaurants, Rione XIII is inspired by the Trastevere, the 13th district of Rome. Think fried artichokes, homemade mozzarella, and of course, oxtails, in a moody space with fantastic tubular pendants. Exposed brick with a painted advertisement left intact provides an appropriate sense of grittiness for a restaurant serving Roman street pizza. 401 15th Ave. E., ethanstowell restaurants.com.
